Excuse me. I believe I ordered the large nasal gas delivery system...


Baby Girl lost a filling. We've found the Nitros to be a very helpful addition to our dental excursions. No more screaming, crying, throwings fits, grabbing the Doctor's hands and jumping out of the chair.

Disney videos of my youth

I loved these when I was a kid. I was talking with my kids about them the other day, specifically about Lambert the sheepish lion, and I found them on youtube - of course. Here they are for my kids, and for you all too. Enjoy.

Peter and the Wolf part 1


Peter and the Wolf part 2


and to complete the wolf theme, Lambert the Sheepish Lion


BTW - I was terrified of these wolves when I was little. For literally years after I first saw them, I was certain that the wolf lived in my laundry room and when it was dark in the house, I'd run like crazy for my bed, and if I couldn't get to sleep, I'd see the wolf's nose edging around the corner of my bedroom door. Chilling! I'll confess that I still get a frisson of remembered fear when those wolves snap those jaws, even today.
